The fact of the matter remains. That the event of an invisible pink elephant nesting under my bed will ALWAYS be denied by the world at large until the invisible pink elephant decides to show itself in public.
And that event of nesting will always be ingrained in my mind thanks to a nice shot of invisible video from the nesting that Ive had the privilege to see.. BUT ..I cannot prove it until that invisible pink elephant shows itself to the public.
Any further discussion on that matter then, is CLOSED.
Do you see where I'm going with this....
Your analogy fails to account for the absence of one actually feeling the need to prove it to the world. The invisible pink elephant under his bed concerns him and is his problem. The world believing his word or that its just another yellow invisible elephant is a matter the man, laying on the bed with his nose pressed against the ceiling, is the least bit concerned about. What he will do is claim it to be true not because his neighbor chooses to believe in it but because he himself believes and knows it to be true, as is his right. The neighbor, for all his care, could go around the neighborhood forming "there is no invisible pink elephant under my neighbor's bed" club houses but that wouldn't really matter now would it, not to the elephant and no to the man. Nor would the man change his stance because his neighbor, a self appointed judge, who over estimates the importance of his thoughts on the matter for the man and somehow, uninvited, took it upon himself to be the authority to be appeased while never having been in the man's house, refuses to believe in it. It's as if a man trying to disprove the female orgasm.
There was no discussion to begin with, you just thought you were owed one.
Just does not make sense for such an extreme measure. Why send just 4 falcons for escort if the threats were so real, why not 8 or 12 or 16?
If there was any doubt in the minds of the higherups that the C130 pilot would desert, why not simply assign the task to some die hard patriotic above such doubts? and why not place a counter team on the C130 to shoot the pilot if he deviates from the route?
No! I don't think the C130 pilots were suspect, or there was that great a risk of C130 being hijacked from within our borders with a reasonably good sized and efficient airforce on guard, had there been a real risk, there would have been more falcons in hte escort team with potent weapons to bring down treasure cove rather than going the extreme way of ramming it down.
If I were to really believe in that story, then PAF is not even 10% of what we believe it to be in terms of professionalism and capability.
As I understand it this was to be the last ditch effort if everything else had failed not the modus operendi. One has to think of all the contingencies when dealing with an issue as important as this; having thought out everything, so to speak.
